• To organize seminars/workshops to raise awareness on various topic such as educating our community about government directives on Social distancing, COVID testing and the importance of been vaccinated using our social platforms such as Zoom meeting, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, printing flyers and postal providing information. Our experience in dealing with these issues has shown us to a great extent how to address the issues as well as the importance of treating these issues as soon as possible.
